2.4.6- trinitro-2.4.6-triazaheptane

MSX. Code name for 1 -Acetoxy-2,4,6-trinitro-2,4,6-triazaheptane. Described in Vol 1, A53-L... 

To protect the hydroxyl groups of the compound (VII) or (XIII) by acetylation Wright cooled a solution after nitrolysis to — 55°C and then added acetic anhydride at a temperature below — 25°C. Apart from cyclonite he isolated l-acetoxy-7-nitroxy-2,4,6-trinitro-2,4,6-triazaheptane (XIV). The addition of the solution from nitrolysis to acetic anhydride gave a diacetyl derivative 1,7-diacetoxy-2,4,6-trinitro-2,4,6-triazaheptane (XV) ...

GSX was also prepd from HCl Sic the diacetate of l,7-diacetoxy-2,4,6-trinitro-2,4,6-triazaheptane 1,7-bis-trifIuoro-acetoxy-2,4,6-trinitro-2,4,6Ttriazaheptane 8c HCl gave a 20% yield of GSX (Ref 3). Jones Thorn (Ref 2) deed its UV spectra, but did not report its prepn. The expl props of GSX were not detd...
